Aut. 1J (PI The government'! social security program, now five years old, has distributed $3,000,000,000 to the nation's aged and unemployed workers, and to widows, orphans and the blind. In advance of iU anniversary, the social security board drew up a statistical picture of its vast operations to show that some 50,000,000 workers had been en rolled in the program since presi' dent Roosevelt signed the act in 1935. At the top of the program is the old age and survivors insurance system which pays out monthly benefits to workers who retire at 65, and to their wives, widows and orphans. Up to June 30, this system had paid $38,000,000 to 102,941 persons. Unemployment compensation, which gives Insured workers a moderate weekly sum during limited number of weeks of Job lessness, is reported to have dis tributed more than $1,000,000,000 in out-of-work benefits. The public assistance phases of the program, distinct from the oia age and jobless insurance systems, are operated through Joint federal- state machinery to provide, on a basis of need, financial care for the aged unable to qualify for insurance benefits, for the needy blind, and for dependent children. The public assistance operation, officials reported, aids some 3,000,000 persons every month, among them 1.983,900 aged, 807,- 900 children and 48,000 blind. The expenditure for this part of the system has totaled about $1,900,-000,000. . in iiiil ill r- 1 ' i ""iii m It k I i U j x r ""1. 7 jjJIt 8IILLIANT SUNBEAMS stream down on ii part of Britain where no sun has shone for . ii.. .1 f nnilnn railrnnil stn tinn. whnse smnke-?rimed class roof had lonff LJ ou( (he jun, presented II1I5 tpeciHLUlur liitiuru nutn, iu prevent on -mm unuiiuo ajihatteted glass, workmen removed roof panes.

"A bomber has the satisfaction Of seeing an explosion under him and of having pursuit planes which accompany the bomber bear witness to his success, Rech enberg Baid.'''The mine layer can only tell by his Instruments whether the mine fell straight and whether he threw it off exactly where is was odered. ' "Afterward, he can only sur mise that this or that ship of whose destruction he reads ' hit his particular mine. "Yet these flights, as I know from- personal experience, are even more dangerous than those of bombers. "If a bomber gets caught In concentrated searchlights, or if enemy planes make things hot for him, he man nevertheless drop his bombs somewhere and so some damage, after which his plane is much lighter and faster. "A mine thrower. In such cir cumstances, must lug his heavy mine home again." Minelaying by plane is far more effective than by ship, Kecnenoerg believes, because a plane can ap proach closer to an enemy snore City News (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5) v "I " 4w f " " ; . :l'.f ilk" Anglos Believe Answer . To Dive Bomber Is Found By ROBERT E. BUNNELLE ON ENGLAND'S SOUTHEAST COAST, Aug. 13 P The men who man the ships which guard and feed Britain believe the British have found or are find ing an answer to the dive-bomber. These men see the British reply to the German Stukas as twofold: The barrage ballons being tried out by the shipping convoys to keep the bombers high enough to prevent accurate aim; A new, multi-barrelled anti aircraft gun which nails the bombers if they come In low. This new gun is a pom-pom which fires shells an Inch or more in caliber, constructed so deli cately they explode at the slight est contact. British who have seen the guns in action praise them highly. . The ban-ago bullous, among the targets of heavy Nazi aerial attacks, are said to be a big help in warding off the bombers but do have their drawbacks. They are vulnerable to the cannon-fire of the German Messes schmitts, are a drag on the ships which tow them and thus slow down the convoys, require a cer tain amount of "babying" and ex pert handling, and are hard to manuever in the stiff winds which frequently whip over the English channel and the North sea. The height at which they aro flown depends on the wind cur. rents. The ballonists fly them where they ride most easily and then, when the need arises, let to the most effective a them up height.

' With other onlookers, I rushed into the street to gather shell fragments as souvenirs. But we didn't stay long. An anti-aircraft battery ?100 yards away burst into action and we ducked lor shelter as an. air raid warden cried: "Better take cover, they're machine-gunning the streets.
